[406143] CVE-2014-3175: Various fixes from internal audits, fuzzing and other initiatives (Chrome 37).

Wow. Now Chrome has same issue that forced me to leave Firefox just like thousands of people.

My whole browser is zoomed in and I can't do anything about it. This is because I have to set my laptop display to 125% to look perfect otherwise it will look very small and blurry. Every other software I have looks perfect with the current settings but Firefox and now Chrome!

I can't stand it. It's all huge and some fonts are just terribly blurry. It's even worse, given that I have an external display with lower DPI, so when I move my browser window there, it's literally enormous!

Right-click the Chrome shortcut and then click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, select Disable Display Scaling On High DPI Settings, and then click OK. This causes the text in the application to appear clearer.

terrible update. Same problem as Sameh. Websites look ugly now, my own website shows blurry and jagged header like it wer on 800x600 instead of 1920x1080. All is to big now. If i zoom out everything looks even more weird and broken. Please fix asap!

@Boo Berry - Chrome showing "unknown-m" is a known issue that is already fixed but just missed this initial release. It will be fixed in the next M37 release! You are definitely running Chrome Stable if your version begins with 37.

For Sameh and others with the problem:Temporary fix found here http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/2en8j0/just_got_chrome_37_its_resolution_is_really_low/ck16jbq@Moderator its just adding parameters to the Chrome shortcut.

whats wrong with this update really dont know.... it has a mini - delay in every open or closed new tab and all engine about tabs are broken and the browser is slower than version 36 ..... cmon google whats happening???... btw i have 64 bit OS. fix this asap. ty

Would it be possible to provide not just direct download links for the offline installers, but to use different filenames for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions, such as ChromeStandaloneSetup_x86.exe and ChromeStandaloneSetup_x64.exe?

64-bit working great, now on Stable instead of Beta (now About shows "unknown-m" now -lol). Also -- THANK THE ALMIGHTY BROWSER GODS -- they finally removed that blasted warning message about using unpacked extensions!!!!!!!!!! Whew. Another note, even with a new install, 64-bit still gets put in the (x86) folder.

Update: Helvetica issue for me was due to Helvetica-Ultracompressed font being installed and chosen first for these sites. For now, I have deleted the font, but would like to be able to reinstall it at some point down the road (since it was a purchase).

I am not sure why there was a need to screw up the fonts and write "to improve font rendering". I think you don't test before delivering such shit. The new font system sucks big time. This move is more worse than the one when you added the fucked up Google Search bar to the New Tab. I am sure nothing will be done for the fonts and people will have adjust with what you think is an "improvement". I downgraded to v36 already.

The latest release completely ruins my chrome experience. The fonts are too big and every webpage appears zoomed in, which changes the distribution of layout items--making the whole thing messy and unappealing. It's really bringing me down! I can't stand it. I'm probably going to have to go back to firefox if this rendering issue is not fixed soon.

Chrome - wtf!! bring back GDI renderer - or at least give us an option to choose. the chrome:flags disable directwrite is not working well. The workaround to start chrome with DPI flag is unacceptable. the directwrite concept is very very flawed - which is why I never use IE11 - makes look everything blurry. Why mess with something that works well. Bring back GDI and get rid of nasty Directwrite

Ok, this font issue is really bad. I have it on a lot of pages (Gmail, Facebook, etc). If it stays like this I will stop using Chrome. And then Google would also kill Android for me as the whole infrastructure works best if you use Chrome everywhere...

Also, we were supposed to get the 64bit version installed automatically, weren't we?

Facebook fonts on chrome 37 browser are royally messed up. You have to disable the direct write feature for now. I explain here: http://goo.gl/aOiU23 go to chrome://flags/ and “Enable” the “Disable DirectWrite"

Same here. Being using Chrome since it was "born" now I am thinking of migrating because of the enormous time it takes (nearly 5 secs) to switch between tabs. Was an autoupdating 32-bit configured with sync. It autoupdated to 37 and got enormously laggy. uninstalled it and installed "stable" (not) 64-bit, stable at start. I set up sync, Chrome opens to a frozen new tab window and won't respond, will unload only if I kill it. Please fix this.

Update-I've been researching the issue since yesterday when autoupdate caused it. It seems some problem with the bookmarks engine can cause the creation of multiple entries for the same bookmark - I found 100's of entries of the very same bookmark. THIS is what causes the enormous lag when switching between tags, your browser wants to display your bookmarks in a proper order and it takes a lot of time for the engine to sort them properly.

Words With Friends Facebook app won't load properly on Facebook. I'm using 64-Bit Chrome (stable) on my Windows 8.1 desktop. The game loads and works fine on my Windows 7 laptop using the 32-bit version of Chrome.

When I try to run it using 64-bit version of Chrome, the Facebook game app partially displays and somewhat locks up... Then I always get a 'Page(s) Unresponsive' message after a short delay.

Sure hope this my comment gets read by Google Chrome team so that they can fix it.

@Janeor, You have to manually install the x64 version. I confirm that after installing from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/?platform=win64 The process manager does NOT show a 32 bit process. It is most definitely 64 bit.

Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for ChromeThe Windows Media Player HTML5 Extension for Chrome is an extension that enables Chrome users to play H.264-encoded videos (aka MP4) on HTML5 pages by using the built-in capabilities found in Windows 7.

Important Notes:If you are running Windows 8, the extension will NOT work. We recommend that you download Internet Explorer instead. IE is a modern, standards compliant browser that remains compatible with older media technologies.

Ever since Chrome updated yesterday, it has been an absolute mess. Huge font size, random bolding of text, weird spacing making some words unreadable, and even "dancing" text giving me headaches. I tried adjusting zoom and dpi. I tried disabling directwrite. Nothing is working. PLEASE HELP. I'm on Windows Vista. So many people I know have this problem right now. Is there any way to revert to 36? I don't want to have to switch to Firefox, but I can't work like this.

Google should be ashamed of this update. Not only the implementation of directwrite is disasterous - there are huge issues with dpi scaling as well. Pull this down...

workaround so far1. if you are using smaller (default) fonts with auto scale on OS level - i.e. you are at normal/100% DPI. and you have blurry fonts --> the issue is directwrite rendering==> chrome:flags turning directwrite off is sufficient2. if you are using higher dpi (125% or more) - and you have abnormal zoom or large scaling issues - then the issue is related to DPI scaling==> change Chrome start link by enabling high dpi and dpi scaling to 1.also change the registry keys - regedit - look for entries such as ... Chrome.exe" -- %1 and change them to ...Chrome.exe" /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1

Got this update a few hours ago, I'm fairly regular with my Chrome updates so I think it was an incrimental - so this issue is with this new version.

It's too darned slow.

It's only when I open or close a tab. There's a noticeable pause of a second or two, even if there's nothing on the tab. This also occurs when resizing the window, Chrome will pause, resize the window but not re-render everything (leaving parts of the window black), then after the same pause, bam, it will refresh.

Running Win8.1 here with Classic Shell installed, on a SSD and SSHD setup.

(Edit: I just realized Issue 395425 might be related to this. Apparently after 0-25 seconds or so their blurryness kinda clears up, whereas instead I'm just getting long pauses instead.)

The display size of almost all websites just went crazy. With this update Facebook and co. just look as crappy as with using Firefox. I really love chrome and the google services but I might actually switch back to ff if this doesn't get fixed (or at least a workaround is provided), 'cause at least ff let's me zoom to ~80% (equivalent to chromes default size before the update) without blurring the fonts.

As you can see (on the laptop) the difference between IE and Chrome is already there.I couldn't test it with version 36 anymore, but Chrome still was faster than IE and Firefox at that time.

On the brand new desktop PC there are 2 browsers that fail, Safari and Chrome 37. (32 and 64 bit)This small test gave me almost 100% on Chrome 36, IE and Opera. Animations smooth as butter!

The contrast between version Chrome 36 and 37 on the desktop is quite big, don't you think?Animations, even little ones are a disaster now on Chrome, even on this (relative) fast PC.

This test didn’t work with Firefox, but I notice it is as fast (and has no problems) as IE and Opera with animations. I’m sure on the quick PC the result would be as high as 60 FPS.

I realize this small test isn't the most reliable, but you can see the difference very well.The problem with Chrome 37 is very noticable in other test too.Something very weird is going on now with Chrome and I really hope it can/will be fixed!

I just switched channels from, beta to stable, did an 'update'..says 'I'm up to date'..yet after the mandatory power wash, my Chromebook reverted back to the 'very insecure' platform, without any of the 50 security updates. I wonder if my device will ever update w/ the much needed security updates, because my device has be 'messed up' since the moment I turned it on out of the box months ago. I know there is some kind of either network attacker my ISP refuses to help me with despite the repeated requests and extra payments for tech support OR my device is 'being managed' by some external source somehow (no need to go into detail here). This has been a nightmare...although I never allow anything to truly 'get to me'...I like the CB, I just wish 'whoever' is behind the scenes will actually do something about the severe problems. I'm very limited to what I can do, because I am not going to input any personal info, cc or banking info into this thing until I am 200% certain something is done. Personally, I truly do not putting out negativity in any way, but it kind of makes Google and my ISP (AT&T) look really awful. I'm an eternal optimist, and 'possibly' there is a 'good' reason for all this. :) can't wait for my REAL UPDATE!!! OneLove

It seems i'm not the only one having problems with the font on facebook looking bit blurry, i thought i might of changed a setting or something, i tried all sort to try and fix it. but nothing seems to b working till i come across all theses post and find out it's not my fault and other people are having the same problems. If someone finds out how to fix the blurry text please let me know. I've always used Chrome, but it's starting to hurt my eyes now. I'm also getting th slight delay when opening tabs and also if i minimize Chrome and then click to go back to it doesn't open properly leaves just a tab up at the top of the screen and i can't do nothing apart from close and open again which is kinda of annoying, hope they will fix these issues.

I just wanted to post a little update -- I don't know if I'm permanently fixed, but it seems to be working better now.

What I did was export my bookmarks to an HTML file, then uninstall chrome + remove all browsing data. I then reinstalled the 32 bit version that's on the site right now.

When doing so, I chose what to sync and did not sync bookmarks.

The thing crashed repeatedly (5-6 tries) when attempting to load my bookmarks, so I opened the bookmarks HTML file manually and re-bookmarked the important ones. Things remained snappy. I then tried importing my bookmarks file again, and it did so in a matter of seconds, no crash.

Everything seems to be back to normal now. Not sure if 2062.102 m is a different version and I just didn't see an update, or what, but the problem seems related to bookmarks somehow. Maybe?

I have a large number of non-latin characters in my bookmark file (Unicode / Shift JIS -- Japanese) so that might be it? Not sure.

Anyway, if you're having issues with new tabs taking a second or 10 to open/close, random crashes and lag when moving windows, try uninstalling + deleting data and fiddling with the bookmarks. Might help.

The fonts are too big. Graphics, letters and colors are blurry -- making it hard to read. Just right after reading comments here, I got dizzy and my head aches terribly. Can we sue google chrome if it cause us health issues?

It would be nice to hear some feedback from someone @ Google about these problems.Do you guys confirm something is wrong with the performance of Chrome 37? Are you guys trying to fix it? Something?

It's a pity, I have been promoting this browser a long time now.The new Chrome 37 on 3 desktops and 1 laptop here is a total disaster now. :(How can this even be possible, ya had the BEST browser around.I really hope this gets fixed quick.

I'm with Lester! I really love Chrome and I want it back. Ever since the 37 release I have been getting by on Firefox, but I keep checking back to this channel to see if these problems have been fixed. It is disconcerting that Google may not have even *acknowledged* that the problems are real. I would feel so much better if I knew, for sure, that they were working on it. I've never felt so passionate about a browser before! I ♥ chrome.

On Linux Mint 17 x64 (with 64bit version of Chrome), the spell-checker goes goofy. When I'm typing, it will work correctly for some of the time, then the red line under typos will be offset a few characters (still the correct length, though). If I right-click and choose a correction, it only corrects the underlined text , and because the red line is often offset, this creates small but incredibly annoying issues.

I too am having issues with Google chrome over the last few days. Difficulty opening home page and going from 1 bookmarked page to another very slow. So much that you wonder if page is going to open at all. Please fix because I have to use ie at moment but really prefer google

Ever since the new update, i also face some issues. the opening and closing of a new tab lags and have a long delay time. Even just the switching of the different tabs also lags and have this delay time.

v 37.0.3062.94 on Mavericks is just constantly freezing on me. It'll just stop working randomly & I won't be able to scroll or do anything unless I force close & open it again, losing all my open tabs in the process. Happens averagely about once an hour. Getting by using Firefox right now. Hope there'll be a fix for it soon as I miss Chrome!

Nearly all websites look awful now, including Google's own Gmail. Fonts are smaller, look modified, condensed. Underlined text is difficult to read, especially with small fonts - there is no space between the line and the letters. Bold text is far too bold and gets blurry. Space between lines is too narrow. How can I revert back to version 36?
